Oh, and the materials used throughout are high quality and deployed in interesting ways. Interior, Comfort, and Cargoĭig modern architecture? You'll probably like the Velar's simple interior, rendered largely from horizontal lines and bold rectilinear forms. For more information about the Velar's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. In our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the four-cylinder Velar delivered just 26 mpg. The EPA has rated the Velar's inline-six engine as high as 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, but the turbocharged four-cylinder is slightly more efficient, with ratings of 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

2024 Range Rover Velar Updated with Big Screen.Models equipped with the available air suspension can raise and lower their ride height for either more dynamic moves on-road or greater dexterity off it. The suspension competently controls the SUV's body motions and keeps body roll in check while returning a firm, well-managed ride. Much like the Velar's acceleration, its handling is by no means sporty. The P400 powertrain-carrying a 395-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-will undoubtedly provide better acceleration performance, but we haven't tested this powertrain yet. We sampled a four-cylinder Velar for a 40,000-mile long-term test, and that model required 7.4 seconds to hit 60 mph. The base engine-P250 in Land Rover parlance-is a 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is genteel but doesn't move the Velar's heft with much authority. We'd also suggest adding the Dynamic Handling package, which includes an adjustable suspension system, a drive-mode selector, and All Terrain Progress Control, which acts as a sort of adaptive cruise control for low speeds or in slippery conditions.

We'd recommend going with the P250 Dynamic SE trim, which adds 19-inch wheels, leather upholstery, a Meridian premium stereo system, and a panoramic sunroof.
